The take

What works

  • Realistic dew-kissed lily-of-the-valley as the centerpiece
  • Comforting and feminine without going powdery-grandmother
  • High-quality natural feel — Cavallier's craftsmanship shows

Trade-offs

  • Middle phase can turn cloying and humid
  • LV pricing for a profile that doesn't exactly break new ground
